Ten ODI matches between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh have taken place between 2019 and now, with SL winning six and Bangladesh winning three. In their most recent meeting in Delhi, which will be remembered for a very long time, Sri Lanka lost and won two of their three meetings in 2023. Obviously, not for the intended purposes.
When Bangladeshi captain Shakib Al Hasan argued to the umpires that incoming batsman Angelo Matthews should be timed out for wasting time, a new method of dismissal entered the record books. He was eventually thrown out, which sparked a good deal of debate. Throughout the remainder of the game, there was an obvious sense of intensity, and even in the recently finished T20I series, four months later, there were hints of it.
The victorious Sri Lankans gestured with their wrists during the photo shoot, as if the memory of the timed-out dismissal was still raw in their minds.
Bangladeshi players, who have yet to win a series at home against Sri Lanka, will still be suffering from the heartbreak of losing the Twenty20 series. However, a win in the ODI series will somewhat assuage their disappointment.
They have a strong all-around team with good depth and balance in both batting and bowling to take on SL at home. Furthermore, the arrival of a few seasoned players like Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Mushfiqur Rahim will be a huge morale boost and inspire them to play a much more audacious style of cricket. In terms of the team composition, Sowmya Sarkar, Liton Das, Anamul Haque, and Najmul Hossain Shanto form a strong top order that, if it gets going, may do a great deal of damage.
With players like Mahmudullah, Towhid Hridoy, and Mehidy Hasan Miraz in the ranks, the already formidable middle order has become slightly more formidable. With two left-arm pacers, one right-arm pacer, one leg spin bowler, and one slow left-arm orthodox to the right-hand-dominant SL batting order, the bowling is in good hands with this varied attack.

With a 2-1 victory in the T20 series, Sri Lanka is now focused on winning the ODI championship. Their ire was aroused by the contentious time-out call, which heightened the animosity between the two clubs.
They played a clinical innings with the bat and then produced an outstanding effort with the ball in the final. They will be hoping to start the ODI phase of the visit with the same zeal as they were determined to make life difficult for the Bangladesh batsmen with some outstanding T20 bowling.
Their line-up now has greater depth and balance thanks to the return of Dhananjaya de Silva and talented all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga. Pathum Nissanka and Matheesha Pathirana are out of the series due to injury layoffs, but Sri Lanka has a fantastic group of players to bring up replacements.
Their attempt to use Avishka Fernando as an opener has not gone well, so they might want to reconsider if they should continue using him in the future. Nuwan Thushara outran the Bangladeshi batsmen, taking five wickets in a performance that proved to be the winning one.
He is probably going to be a key member of the ODI team if he is chosen for the squad, considering how difficult it was for Bangladesh to choose him.
Sri Lanka Squads
Wanindu Hasaranga (c), Kusal Mendis (wk), Kamindu Mendis, Charith Asalanka, Dasun Shanaka, Angelo Mathews, Maheesh Theekshana, Sadeera Samarawickrama, Dilshan Madhushanka, Dhananjaya de Silva, Nuwan Thushara.

Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium, Chattogram
Saying with certainty that this is a bat-second, win-toss surface is difficult. Several BPL teams made the wise decision to chase, and they were correct seven times out of eleven. We anticipate that the side that wins the toss will send the other team to bat first.
An early start of dew in some instances shifted the edge to the pursuing team.
Although this venue’s deck isn’t always passive and a road, it is generally highly favorable to batting. Even in the recently concluded BPL 2024, there was some disparity in the scores.
In their last 5 matches, Bangladesh won two of them and Sri Lanka won three matches.
